Newtek PTZ Camera

I have plugged in my Newtek PTZ camera to the same switch as my tricaster. However, the camera does not appear as an NDI option. Is there an alternate way to check the camera settings. I notice a USB port on the camera. Can the camera settings be adjusted using this port? I suspect the camera settings may have been changed.

I believe the docs explain how to connect to the camera when it doesn't appear, for one of several reasons.

Here's one quote: "Important Note: Connect your Ethernet cable before connecting power to NDI-PTZ1. If the camera cannot obtain an IP address from your DHCP server, it automatically switches to a static IP address. If this happens inadvertently, refer to Section 2.7.1 of the manual to access the default static IP address, and connect to the camera in a peer-to-peer network configuration to re-enable DHCP."
